Mayline Flat Files Update

In 2017, Safco Products acquired the Mayline Company. Please see the information below for an update on the Mayline Flat Files, one of our favorite product lines.

Effective February 26, 2018 Safco is transitioning the sales of the
Traditional Mayline C-Files to the legacy Safco Flat Files. This will be the new Mayline—Safco Flat File moving forward.

During this transition to a new manufacturing facility, Safco is initiating a temporary hold on the manufacturing of Mayline Interlocking Flat Files and Hamilton Unit System Files. We will mark these flat files 'Available to Order' once the transition is complete and the production line is up and running.

Safco has also decided to discontinue the Mayline Wood Flat File line effective immediately. At this time the only wood flat files still available are made by Diversified Woodcrafts and can be seen here.

Here is a comparison chart of the Discontinued Traditional Mayline C-File with the Safco Flat Files:

Q: Will these new colors match the legacy C-File colors?
A: The colors are very closely matched. The finish is moving from a wet-paint process to a more durable powder coat finish. Exact matches across these two processes are not universally attainable.

Q: Will bases be available in matching colors?
A: Yes, with the exception of the sanitary base legs which are being discontinued due to low sales

Q: Will the Mayline—Safco Flat Files Stack on legacy C-Files?
A: Yes. Note: There will be a 1/16th to 3/8” overlap or underlap depending upon the model number and the orientation of the two files. See attached Cross-Reference for dimensions
